Abstract
Wound healing in diabetic patients is often compromised due to excessive inflammation, oxidative stress, and impaired angiogenesis, leading to delayed recovery and increased susceptibility to complications. This study aimed to develop an emulgel formulation of guava leaf oil, derived from Psidium guajava (Myrtaceae), and evaluate its wound healing potential in nondiabetic and diabetic rats. Preliminary phytochemical analysis of guava leaf oil identified active compounds such as D-limonene, β-caryophyllene, and 1,8-cineole, which are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The emulgel was formulated and assessed for physical attributes, including pH, viscosity, spreadability, and stability. The emulgel demonstrated potent antimicrobial activity, with the 1% concentration showing significant efficacy. In vivo studies revealed enhanced wound contraction in diabetic rats treated with the emulgel, supporting its role in promoting excision wound healing. These findings underscore the therapeutic potential of guava leaf oil emulgel as an effective agent for managing nondiabetic and diabetic wounds, providing a foundation for future clinical applications.
期刊介绍:
Inflammopharmacology is the official publication of the Gastrointestinal Section of the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) and the Hungarian Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology Society (HECPS). Inflammopharmacology publishes papers on all aspects of inflammation and its pharmacological control emphasizing comparisons of (a) different inflammatory states, and (b) the actions, therapeutic efficacy and safety of drugs employed in the treatment of inflammatory conditions. The comparative aspects of the types of inflammatory conditions include gastrointestinal disease (e.g. ulcerative colitis, Crohn''s disease), parasitic diseases, toxicological manifestations of the effects of drugs and environmental agents, arthritic conditions, and inflammatory effects of injury or aging on skeletal muscle. The journal has seven main interest areas:
-Drug-Disease Interactions - Conditional Pharmacology - i.e. where the condition (disease or stress state) influences the therapeutic response and side (adverse) effects from anti-inflammatory drugs. Mechanisms of drug-disease and drug disease interactions and the role of different stress states
-Rheumatology - particular emphasis on methods of measurement of clinical response effects of new agents, adverse effects from anti-rheumatic drugs
-Gastroenterology - with particular emphasis on animal and human models, mechanisms of mucosal inflammation and ulceration and effects of novel and established anti-ulcer, anti-inflammatory agents, or antiparasitic agents
-Neuro-Inflammation and Pain - model systems, pharmacology of new analgesic agents and mechanisms of neuro-inflammation and pain
-Novel drugs, natural products and nutraceuticals - and their effects on inflammatory processes, especially where there are indications of novel modes action compared with conventional drugs e.g. NSAIDs
-Muscle-immune interactions during inflammation [...]
